OK thanks.Most anglers feel like the "sweet spot" for the 700XH is at 50-60, so I assume you will use those most often.If your budget is open, an excellent match for that rod is the Penn Torque TRQ40NLD2, which will hold 500-plus yards of 80-pound braid plus a short topshot.If you go with 65-pound braid, you can up the yardage to 600-plus yards. Only 27 ounces, 40 pounds of max drag, very low "side load" due to thrust bearing, great freespool/castability, and made in USA.
